Ok, yes, we shouldn't stereotype the poor. There, that was as you asked.
Let me ask you, if we should stereotype the rich?
Nope.
You still don't get it.
The OP was not stereotyping the poor or the rich.
I'm trying to think of an example......
Imagine prostitutes who make a lot of money in a regulated market. Much of society will look down on them. Yet they make a mad amount of money.
Imagine hedge fund managers who made out rich after the 2008 real estate collapse. They made a lot of money and got rich but many people looked down on the way they made their fortune.
Imagine an individual stuck in a basic field, such as construction, that they worked as an underage employee but left caring for their family and they sacrifice their lives to care for their family in the only way they know how. Yet working in basic construction they are considered lower class.
Yes....stereotypes are bad. And that's the point of the OP.
The OP didn't make a single disparaging remark about rich people. You raised it.
The OP was talking about the issue of how, in any given culture, people look down upon those who work menial jobs and...to add...those menial jobs are as important as more important jobs such as being a doctor, a lawyer, etc.
It's not about rich versus poor. There was no hypocrisy introduced but the issue of class issues involved in regards to professions that many cultures consider basic and ... if I read correctly...disrespectful.
That was the issue.
It's about basic ****ing respect for those who endure menial labor and jobs yet are considered unworthy.....
You introduced rich versus poor.
You are the one who made it something more about hypocrisy.
Which the OP was not.
The OP was not making a distinction between rich and poor. It was making a distinction in class attitudes towards professions.
It's right there in the OP.
